will641 is on a distinguished road
 Okay, let me start off by saying that the river bluff was probably too weak, but can I thought if I bet like half pot into that drawy board, he would fold tp. can i get some insight into whether I had the right idea or not. And, could i have raised turn or flop?

Oh yeah one other thing I posted the results, because in this situation I don't think that hiding them is that pertinent.

stacks effectively $62 each

Dealt to will641 [Td 7d]
dieNOmight: folds
callibaetis: folds
Subfallen: raises $0.50 to $0.75
will641: calls $0.50

dieNOmight leaves the table
Subfallen: raises $5.25 to $9
will641: calls $5.25
*** TURN *** [7c 6d Jd] [Qs]

will641: calls $13
*** RIVER *** [7c 6d Jd Qs] [9c]

will641: bets $20
Subfallen: calls $20
*** SHOW DOWN ***
will641: shows [Td 7d] (a pair of Sevens)
Subfallen: shows [Ad Qh] (a pair of Queens)
Subfallen collected $83.50 from pot

 Love your sig,

as for the hand remove the results plz but I shove this flop like all the time, dunno if that's good or not, but go into pokerstove and place your hand against his calling range, you're not too far behind when called and he'll fold a lot of his range that beats you if you 4bet shove the flop.

 He's 200BB deep you realize?

I think you played it fine up until the river. This is not a good spot to bluff. You were right to assess that by checking the river, he most likely had a weak holding, like a low two pair or AJ, and 200BB's deep these hands probably won't stackoff.

However, the problem with bluffing here is what your hand looks like, a busted draw. This is the most common bluffing spot in poker, and one that most people know of and will probably call you down on. I'd just check behind the river and hope he had a missed draw.

And one more thing, this hand becomes very very tough if your opponent shoves the river and you hit one of your draws. If you hit your T, you probably would have to fold (very marginal) to a strong river bet. If you hit a 7, it's an even toughed decision but you probably have to call because of the donktastic play or 25NL. If you hit your flush and he shoves, you'd have to cry and call and hope he's a donkey.

 whoooooooops, missed stacks size, ISF, don't worry about the sigs, it's just one of my silly quotes.

Mass/ISF, if we pick up, say a gutshot, on the turn, are you shoving?
